MAY ESTABLISH ~ A PROTECTORATE This the Next Probable Move in Nicaragua. Washington, D. C. (Special). — One of the projects for the solution of the Nicaraguan situation which has been strongly urged upon the State Department is the establish- ment of a protectorate, either singly by the United States, or jointly with Mexico. This may be regarded as necessary in the event that the in- surgents fail to displace Zelaya by their own efforts, and may even fol- low an insurgent triumph which would leave the country without re- sponsible leaders. It is sald that precedent for such action could be found in the cases of Santo Domingo and Cuba. In the first instance large sums of money were owing to American citizens which eould not be collected from the Dominican government (then in a state of chaos) by diplomatic means, In the case of Nicaragua the govern- ment has defaulted in the payment of the agreed allotments in the Emery claim. In the case of Cuba a state of disorder that threatened the safety of the lives and property of Americans and other forigners ex. isted that was the warrant for in- tervention. There is some reason to believe that a forward movement will be made by this government in the near future; perhaps as soon as a suffi- cient number of marines have been gathered off the Nicaraguan coast Calls Zelaya Arch Criminal.
